@FrMatthewLC@PolakwKanadzie The problem mostly comes down to whether someone concludes that the current positions of the Vatican that they disagree with find their origins in previous RC councils
@c7Z8iv9LAn3BZFH@2Macc1516@StealerMem69530 Meanwhile your enlightened Eastern views have led your nation to demographic suicide because there’s no motivation to do anything at all, even reproduce, while White American Christians are still at replacement rate despite being surrounded by anti-natal liberalism for decades
@Frost7@NY_LBSS@ZoomerHistorian Good luck with that man. I was baptized Episcopalian, average parishioner is in their 60s/70s, women pastors & prohomo; any young Christians left have left for a real church, as the few old parishioners die off they sell the churches. For better or worse the Mainline is just dead
@lingeriegoat@mistericxx …and once the US entered the war defeat was essentially a matter of time. There are a lot of counterfactuals where Germany could have had a far better outcome but under the conditions of the war as it played out Germany came nowhere close to achieving a permanent victory
@lingeriegoat@mistericxx Sorry man but they didn’t almost win. Not bashing Germany’s performance at all but a lot of the early success was due to appeasement and Allied incompetence. There was never any real chance of knocking Britain out of the war without a negotiated settlement, which was unlikely…
@SageofIron@kthom209@MLJHaynes Wrong, he was Germanic Orthodox Catholic Christian, Roman Patriarchs pre-1054 were Orthodox, making Alfred the Great and all Germanics Orthodox, Alfred the Great was not Latinx, stop being brown
@SageofIron@kthom209@MLJHaynes Alfred the Great was Orthodox. Athelstan was Orthodox. My ancestors were Orthodox. I am Germanic Orthodox American Orthodox. And you can't stop me.
@SageofIron@kthom209@MLJHaynes EO stands for Eastern Orthodox, actually, not East. If Iron Age Sages were this unintelligent no wonder they couldn't read
@SageofIron@kthom209@MLJHaynes Was about to head to my local American Orthodox church until you reminded me that doing so would fast-track me on a one way ticket to Donbass to be blown up by drones, you saved my life thanks man
@ExiledUnfairly@EusebiusOfRome@EdwardPentin I agree I’m sure that was likely the case. The context provided was more to illustrate that it wouldn’t be accurate to say that the Orthodox “schismed”, it wasnt clear to me from your post if that’s the position you were taking. It seems to be what the user above you was implying
